Having created and managed several websites (LandlordMax.com, FollowSteph.com, etc.) over the last few years, I’m getting pretty good at predicting a website’s chances of success, as well as which areas will generate the most traffic. I have to admit that this website (LearningCentre.com) completely through me for a loop. I expected the main page to get the most traffic, followed by the blog (free valuable content), then followed by the forums, as this last section costs $100 for a lifetime membership. Was I ever wrong!!!

The forum, based on the number of unique visitors, never mind hits, gets a little more than twice as much traffic as the blog and the main page! Yes, the paid content gets almost double the amount of unique visitors! That really surprised me, in a good way.

So all this to say that you no matter how much experience and expertise you have in creating and managing websites, you can never really predict what will happen until it goes live. The more experience you have, the more likely you are to be an accurate predictor, but you can never know for sure without trying it out first (test test test).

Another interesting tidbit of news about LearningCentre.com, we’ve already beaten the traffic (in terms of unique visitors) from last month and it’s not even half way through the month! Not bad for a brand new site.
